I appreciate the review as I am always searching for better travel pants. I found Union Bay Rainier travel pants. These fit most of your criteria but are not convertible to shorts. They come in fixed waist or flex waist. Zipper rear pockets that prevent pick pocketing and a flush side cargo like pocket on the right leg also with zipper. 4 way stretch, UVP 50 and water resistant. The killer of why I have stuck with them after years of use and searching travel pants is they cost $36. I buy 3 pair for less than most single pair of other brands. I have 8 pair and wear them everyday summer or winter and had 1 rear pocket zipper fail. Zero other issues. My criteria for rear zipper pocket and a side pocket are features almost never met let alone all the other features makes these a killer deal.
Thank you for watching and I appreciate a fellow lover of travel pants. I will definitely try out the Union Bay Rainier travel pants and might buy a few myself. Cheers!
A man after my own heart! I'm on the quest for the perfect travel pants. ...More of an addiction really as I'm looking for "the pants" and don't even get me started about backpacks lol. Can't get away with shorts/pants combs but these look great on you and super comfy. Thank you for providing such a comprehensive review.
Could you also add info on the list of pants that you tried and why you had rejected them? Curious to know if you had tried the covertible hiking pant options from Wrangler ATG (SPF 30) and Columbia Silver Ridge (UPF 50).
@bentacular right. I forgot about that requirement of yours. As a big sized person living in a tropical climate without any winter season, the more baggy the pants, the better they are for me. Plus, living outside of US, I don't have the luxury of trying a pant for 100+$ that I can't return if I don't like it. But $30+ for Columbia or Wrangler is very doable for me.
@@senthiljams For most cases, they're not bad especially for daily wear. They are 2 very established brands with great quality. I made sure I tried out most of the pants before I traveled since I was going to be out of the country for a while and wanted to have them beforehand. I bought two and I was all set.

Hellloooo from Ouray, Colorado! Thank you so much for your awesome and thorough review of these pants! QUESTION: are they still high on your favorites list a year later?
Very awesome!! Some of your criteria would not necessarily be handling requirements for me (convertable shorts, UV protection...and to a lesser extent, the athletic cut). But, I am definitely not opposed to all of your criteria. There are definite benefits in all of them. And, part of it may be I don't know what I don't know....or I don't know that I would want that feature. I will definitely try out a pair as I decommission some of my current pants!! Safe travels!!
Thank you great review! Ordering one for myself. Unfortunately they don’t have 30 waist which is odd, so I hope 32 will not be too large for me. Ps. Coolibar should recognise this man! 👍👍

For some reason even though this video is irrelevant to me I found it really entertaining and now I want a girl version of the pants 😅
The pants are amazing!

Yay! I appreciate the love! Thank you

Awesome! Let me know what you find. Took me a year to find these and tested them out on travel and worked great!
Great video
Do more...do one on the perfect t-shirt.
Thank you for the support! I will try

Sorry, I don't have a list anymore but I did try them both. For both, it was just the fit for me and the ankles weren't as tapered as I would like

@@campingalan Absolutely! If you favor the same criteria for pants, you'd live them!

Do u have a recommendation for pants that are stretch/quick dry/ non- wrinkle and are a little more dressy - that essentially look like normal khakis?
Lulu Lemons and Kuhl would be a great place to look. They have many styles, so pick fit that works for you
@bentacular thanks so much man!!
No worries! I hope you subscribe
@@bentacular subd 👊
They are ALMOST perfect. They need zippers at the bottom in case you are wearing boots you can remove the pants without having to remove shoes.
Agreed!
@@bentacular Great video btw
@@mathewhunt81 Thank you! I appreciate the support
It is a very good pants but it does not match with a shirt, it is convertible pants with a formal shirt, looks ridiculous
good to know
